The IDF will continue to be responsible for security inspections in Cyprus and Gaza, and for protecting the deliveries; and no US troops will be going ashore. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/aid-trucks-begin-moving-ashore-via-gaza-pier-us-says-2024-05-17/

I don't see much political use in bombarding the Left with the news. It's the sort of thing that would appeal most to people who still think America is neither intrinsically evil nor beset with toxic alien carnage. (A diminishing constituency, to be sure.)

Agreed. The far left has jumped into the same abyss as the MAGA mob. They’re two sides of the same coin; completely delusional!…:)

Smart phones paired with social media and algorithmically-fed information siloes have radicalized both sides of the political aisle via fractured/amplified coverage of our respective rage triggers. Once you understand that everything else downstream of 2012 makes sense. It was like this with TV/print media and editorial selectivity before 2012, but then it got moved into our pockets via smart phone applications from 2012 onward.
